You will be required to take one or more of the following standardized tests to gain admission to a U.S. university. For instructions on registration, contact the Fulbright Program Office or the website for the test.
Tests of English Language Proficiency
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): TOEFL is an admissions requirement at U.S. institutions for applicants whose native language is not English. All non-native English-speaking candidates should immediately register for TOEFL.
IELTS (International English Language Testing System): A growing number of U.S. institutions will accept the IELTS in lieu of TOEFL scores.
GRE (Graduate Records Examination)
The GRE is required by most U.S. graduate schools and/or departments for candidates applying in the fields of science, technology, or engineering. You should make every effort to register for the earliest possible administration of the GRE. Generally, the quantitative section of the exam is weighed heavily in the sciences.
GRE Subject Tests are required for the following fields:
Chemistry
Computer Science
Mathematics
Physics
The GRE Subject Test is only offered on a limited basis in paper-based format—October, November, or April. If selected as a finalist, you must register for either the October or the November test. However, the subject tests are not a requirement for this application.

For all TOEFL and GRE exams, please indicate CODE: 2326.
